Instructions

Step 1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until fork-tender.

Step 6. Sear the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.

Step 12. Simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 13. Return the shrimp to the sauce and stir gently to coat.

Step 15. Spoon mashed potatoes onto serving plates.

Step 16. Place a salmon fillet over the mashed potatoes and top with the creamy garlic shrimp.

Step 18. Drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce and garnish with parsley and rosemary if desired.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Keep the mashed potatoes, seafood, and vegetables together or in separate containers for best quality.

Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave at 50% power to prevent the salmon and shrimp from overcooking.

Add a splash of cream or milk when reheating to restore the sauce’s creamy consistency.

Freezing is not recommended, as the cream sauce may separate and the seafood texture can become less tender after thawing.
